A new fitness studio is opening soon in South Austin's St. Elmo neighborhood.

The details

Training Mate, an Australian-founded California-based fitness company, will open under the Bishop Momo apartment building on South Congress Avenue this summer.

Austin franchise owners Jess and Zieke Mirabito are Australian and wanted to open Training Mate's first Austin location after seeing the city's strong active lifestyle community. Training Mate also has locations in Dallas and Houston.

What they offer


Training Mate is a high-intensity, low-impact 45-minute workout focusing on cardio and resistance. According to the Training Mate website, classes are designed to burn up to 1,000 calories. Jess Mirabito said they aim to create strong communities of "mates" in classes.
